I am a Research Scientist in Huawei Noah’s Ark Laboratory. I received my PhD degree from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2021. My research interests include scene understanding, visual commonsense reasoning, visual indoor navigation, and vision-language pretraining.

We are now recruiting project/research interns in topics including AI4EDA, anomaly detection, application of vision-language pretraining models, etc. If you are interested in, please directly send your CV to zhu.yee at outlook.com.

The video of our ECCV 2022 workshop "Cross-modal Human-robot Interaction (2nd)" [link] is available at [link].
